Finally the reason is clear... It's the Lawyer Party

A LAWYER WITH A BRIEFCASE CAN STEAL MORE THAN A THOUSAND MEN WITH GUNS.

This is very interesting! I never thought about it this way.

The Lawyers' Party By Bruce Walker *

The Democratic Party has

become the Lawyers Party .

Barack Obama is a lawyer. Michelle Obama is a lawyer.

Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. Bill Clinton is a lawyer.

John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards is a lawyer.

Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate).

Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.

Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress:

Harry Reid is a lawyer. Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.

The Republican Party is different.

President Bush is a businessman.

Vice President Cheney is a businessman.

The leaders of the Republican Revolution:

Newt Gingrich was a history professor.

Tom Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an economist.

House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.

The former Senate Majority Leader Bill First is a heart surgeon.

Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer?

Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely,

won the Republican nominatio n as a sitting president, running

against Ronald Reagan in 1976.

The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work,

who are often the targets of lawyers.

The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn

men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick, like First,

or who immerse themselves in history, like Gingrich.

The Lawyers Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of America. And, so we have seen the procession of official enemies, in the eyes of the Lawyers Party, grow.

Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail? Pharmaceutical companies,

oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food

restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and

anyone producing anything of value in our nation.

This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the

eyes of lawyers. Lawyers solve problems by successfully

representing their clients, in this case the American people.

Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits,

they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always

parse language to favor their side.

Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine.

But it is an awful way to govern a great nation.

When politicians as lawyers begin to view some Americans as clients and other

Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our

life becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become adverse parties of

our very government. We are not all litigants in some vast

social class-action suit. We are citizens of a republic that promises us

a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers.

Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by judicial

decisions; we are driven to distraction by omnipresent

lawyers in all parts of our once private lives. America has

a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable,& nbsp;

not vast and unchecked. When the most important decision for our

next president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court,

the role of lawyers and the law in America is too big.

**

When House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our

efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then

the role of litigation in America has become crushing.

We cannot expect the Lawyers Party to provide real change, real reform

or real hope in America Most Americans know that a republic in

which every major government action must be blessed by nine unelected

judges is not what Washington& nbsp;intended in 1789. Most Americans

grasp that we cannot fight a war when ACLU lawsuits snap at the

heels of our defenders. Most Americans intuit that more lawyers

and judges will not restore declining moral values or spark the spirit

of enterprise in our economy.

Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought

to our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American

society and business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope does

not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished

by hard work. Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more

lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse.

The United States has 5% of the world’s population and 66% of the

world’s lawyers! Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been

introduced in congress several times in the last several years

to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as spilling

hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it

to you and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical

malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has continually been blocked

from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97%

of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association

goes to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible

for our medical and product costs being so high!

The parties should have a sybiotic relationship then. The party of criminals Needs the party of lawyers, and vice versa.

Elected members of Congress and the Executive are elected to create and execute law. Is it terribly surprising that Republicans are less likely to be well versed in the law?

That was my first reaction.

My second is to point out that the email FW: is right. Elected Republicans are real Americans, not lawyers. Well, except for Lisa Murkowski, Jeff Sessions, Jon Kyl, Saxby Chambliss, James E.
